Lovely campground with lots of mature trees. We just stayed one night on our way somewhere else but I would definitely stay here again. The man that booked us in said his mom had run the campground for 51 years. They had a pool and other amenities we didn't use.

Camp grounds are very maintained and very clean.. the owners are very nice and helpful. If you need anything all you need to do is ask. I will definitely bring my family back here soon or next year I would like to come back a few times. Thank you

Awesome owner, very nice guy. Campground was clean overall as far as the sites and facilities go, wasn't too much going on and was very quiet. The site we had was perfectly level almost and very roomy and large with plenty of room for a large RV. Full hookups all worked perfectly, and the whole campground is covered with trees, making it very easy to keep cool or stay out of the sun. They also have a pool which looked pretty nice, they were working on getting it open for memorial day. Nice and close to the turnpike, plenty of places and things to do nearby. Will be coming back again!

Not bad at all. No complaints although it rained every day I was there. But it's not the camps fault it's mother natures...also I was able to get a food delivery via instacart.

A truly nice campground. Literally tucked into the woods with easy access from the turnpike...a quarter of a mile. Every site was shady! Bathroom/showers were old but clean. I could see the Nice sized pool from my site and the rec center although I never made it inside. I am definitely planning another trip there!
